VPT Announces the FLX Series, a Highly Scalable DC-DC Converter Power Solution
VPT, Inc., a HEICO company and a prominent provider of high-reliability power conversion solutions, has launched the FLX Series. This configurable DC-DC converter power solution is specifically engineered for mission-critical applications that demand robust and turnkey power conversion capabilities.
The FLX Series distinguishes itself by integrating VPT's proven DC-DC converters and EMI filters within a rugged, scalable housing. This design is optimized for the harshest operational environments, offering a configurable framework that significantly accelerates system integration by consolidating multiple converter modules into a single, pre-qualified assembly.
Designed with a focus on optimizing Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) while ensuring favorable lead times, the FLX Series delivers precise power and voltages tailored to customer system needs. Each assembly is prequalified to Military Standards and provides configurable output rails through preferred connector interfaces, streamlining overall power integration and reducing design risk.
